Energy from Soot: Engineering
Carbons for Electrochemistry
Abstract
Carbon is a double-edged sword. In the form CO₂, it is changing our climate and causing
extreme weather. In the form of soot particles released from burning fuels, it causes lung
disease and millions of deaths each year. However, carbon could also be our saviour.
From the viewpoints of materials science, chemistry, and engineering, carbon is an exciting and extremely useful element. From buckminsterfullerene, to carbon nanotubes, to
graphene, research in carbon has spawned Nobel Prizes and entire fields of research.

In this seminar, Prof. Lyth will discuss the history, fundamental properties, and potential
energy applications of carbon. In particular he will talk about how to engineer the properties of carbon at the atomic and molecular scale. This is achieved by doping with
heteroatoms, decorating with nanoparticles, or functionalizing with chemical groups. By
exerting control over carbon, it is possible to make better batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers. Thereby we can reduce CO₂ and particulate emissions, with benefits to the whole
world. It is even possible to convert carbon dioxide directly to ethanol using
carbon-based electrochemistry. Therefore, electrochemical energy conversion using
carbon could save us after all…
